Adapts to the patient’s morphologyReduces pressure through increased surface area;POLYAIR® adapts to all anatomy types, particularly as a result of its internal air

channel ventilation, enabling the cushion to rapidly adjust to the patient'smorphology and protecting from tissue breakdown.

Cell independence and mobilityEnables effective counteracting of shearingEnsures even pressure in all compartments.

Reduction in the effets of macerationAeration channels results in improved ventilation.

THE WORKING PRINCIPLESEFFECTIVE, ERGONOMIC & COMFORTABLEEnsures maximum patient contact with seating surface by moulding itself to

protuberances of the sacrum area. This results in extremely effective reduction intranscutaneous pressure values (as measured by 3D pressure imaging devices) onthe buttock areas with little or no counter-pressure.

POLYAIR® adapts to all anatomy types, particularly as a result of its internal airchannel ventilation, enabling the cushion to rapidly adjust to the patient'smorphology and protecting from tissue breakdown.

POLYAIR® is an effective solution in the prevention of pressure sores in high-riskareas and assists in the healing of previously formed sores.

POLYAIR® is equally effective as a weapon against the effects of maceration,friction and shear as a result of: - improved aeration in areas at risk;- reducton in tissue deformation;- increased stability as a result of its honeycomb design.

SYST’AM® INNOVATIONDELIVERED WITH ITS NEW ELECTRONIC MEASURINGAND ADJUSTMENT SYSTEMPressure gauge completely designed and manufactured by SYST'AM®, specially

produced by our R&D department for use with the POLYAIR® cushionFully electronic, the measuring system is extremely accurate and specifically

calibrated to measure the micro-pressures inside the POLYAIR® cushionUnlike membrane-type pressure gauges (such as those adapted from cardiology

instruments), the measurements are not just more accurate with an electronicsensor, but they are also more reliable and reproducible as there is no risk ofmembrane deformation or wear. As a result, inflation is much more accurate.

To adjust pressure through deflation, just press a button The new design makes the accessory more ergonomic, lighter, simpler and easier

to use.

CUSHION MADE OF LAXPRENE®Laxprene® was developed from a specific compound mixture designed to offer:

- adaptability,- tearing resistance,- and pressure maintenance.

Durability was a major factor in the choice of Laxprene®.This material makes the POLyAIr® highly resistant to large scale tearing (moreresistant than neoprenes and polychloroprenes).

Features and performances of LaxpreneThe Laxprene® material has been specially developed by SyST’AM® in order to get:- an anallergical material (Laxprene®≠Latex);- a very extensible material with a very high tearing resistance. In addition, because the Laxprene® is worked through a dipping process,

POLyAIr® benefits of a great suppleness, ensuring a perfect response to theinflation pressure.

POLYAIR®: A CUSHION MADE THROUGH DIPPING PROCESSThe measures below were conducted with the same patient sitting on twodifferent types of cushion (a cushion manufactured through dipping process anda cushion moulded with compression), both inflated to several different levels ofpressure.

A simple inflating, thanks to the inflationmatrix and the pressure gauge manometer

In order to determinate the inflatingscore, you need the weight of thepatient.

The measurement of the buttockcircumference reveals the contactsurface with the cushion.

Cross the weight and buttockcircumference on the inflating grid andread the inflating score for efficientpressure sore prevention.

A GENUINE INFLATION SYSTEMMaladjusted inflating impairs the air cells cushions efficiency.An over-inflated or under-inflated cushion can lead to pressure sore

outbreak.Since the inflating variations inside of each compartment (few

MmHg) can not be detected through hand feeling, the sole way toinflate properly air cells cushions is to use inflating tools such aspressure gauge manometer.Only the manometer is able to take into account the weight andcontact surface of patient with the cushion. This method showingconstant results grants an efficient prevention.

TWO SEPARATE COMPARTMENTSAll POLYAIR® cushions feature dual compartments (left and right) which actindependently from each other. With the included manometer and pressure guidechart, they can be inflated at equal or different pressure levels.

This design is particularly useful in rectifying pelvic imbalances while at the sametime offering greater stability and comfort.

Rebalancing: improves stability and position

Impermeable material (but permeable to steam and air):suitable for incontinence;

Reduces maceration effects through easing the skinrespiration.

Side eyelets 2:- enables valves to be pushed inside the cushion afterinflating;

- facilitates the flow of air between the inside and outside ofthe cover, which reduces the effects of maceration, as aresult of the cushions’ improved ventilation.

SYST’AM® P301C / POLYAIR® 60P301C / POLYAIR® 60 is best suited to smaller, somewhat active patients independentlyable to shift their weight and requiring little or no assistance with transfer.

SYST’AM® P302C / POLYAIR® 100P302C / POLYAIR® 100 is best suited to larger, less active patients with very limitedmobility who are at high risk of developing, or have already developed, pressure sores.
